Hello Everyone! I am George Pierce, this post is about what I call "Pointer Sites". The following is a trick that I use for creating backlinks and free traffic. I do not know that it is a common practice, but it works for me, so it should work for you.
The process is easy, straight forward, and free. It is based on content marketing, and keywords, primarily 'long-tail keywords'.
Here is how I do it.
I use free web hosting sites such as Webador as you see above.. Webador is superb, and so are many other free hosts such as Altervista, Weebly, Wix, etc. I create a small site of about a half dozen pages that are relative to the main site. that the free site will be pointing to (linked to). Set up standard pages such as Home, About Us, Products, Contact, and Blog. Initially I will add a News or What's New Page, and at least one or two pages that are built around 'long-tail keywords'.
The long-tail keyword phrase above has excellent search and about a 77% chance of generating organic traffic (free traffic),,,so build a page around this phrase. In fact, it is so good, I suggest build a page on your main site around the phrase, and then create a newsy overview around the same phase on your pointer site, with a link to the main article on your main site.
Long-tail search phrases provide benefits such as fewer competitors, drawing in targeted website traffic of possible buyers who are more likely to purchase. Utilizing long-tail keyword phrases are less pricey, Pay Per Click (PPC) marketing, and allow much more exact web page targeting.
Of course each page has one of more links to the main website (backlinks).
Occassionally add more content, such as news and updates and topic overviews of content that has been added to your main site. All of which POINTS to your main site.
For more traffic, more backlinks, and more target market focus (long-tail keywords), consider adding pointer sites. Webador is an excellent place to start.
Thank you for reading.
Much success,
George Pierce

From my experience results vary using this method. There are a lot of varibles to take into consideration. What will most likely be the best use of free website makers is to gain free traffic. It can hurt the Search engine placement of the main website.
Always make sure the long tail keywords are searched terms, that relate to your product or service.
My first good luck with long tail keywords began with squeeze pages, but not right away, it did not work so well, then I added more content based on the incentive, so I found that you do not want to make your pages too short (to make both search engines and visiitors happy), thank you, Dennis.
For me it was a short video leading to a longer video, which lead to the website. When you reach the audience who has an interest and peak that interest the rest takes care of itself. With long tail keywords your goal is to reach those most likely to become buyers of your product or service.
